Letter: Destroying of History

We have had several instances of vandalism of statues and monuments by a group trying to change our nation's history. History of our nation needs to be studied or we might repeat it.

What this group really wants is to do away with racism and other forms of discrimination. Destroying history will not accomplish what they want. We need to come together and change attitudes and behaviors.

Schools, churches, and families need to teach how to make judgments about others. We should be able, in the 21st century, to make judgments about others, not by skin color, how they look, or how they are dressed, Make judgments about others on what is inside each other.

We can start by excluding race and ethnicity from all applications for any reason. The mere passing of legislation banning discrimination will not work.

A country never wins a war within its self. Perhaps after 150 years later we can learn how to live together and help one another on our journey through life.
